Three Liberian officials named in imposed #USsanctions on Monday have been suspended by #PresidentGeorgeWeah.
A statement issued on Tuesday by the Liberia presidency said President George Weah views the allegations against the officials contained in the report as grave. He also designated the principal deputies of the suspended officials to act in their stead.
The United States announced Monday that it has imposed corruption sanctions on senior Liberian officials, including one close to President George Weah the minister in charge of presidential affairs and President Weah's secretary general.
The sanctioned officials are:
Nathaniel McGill - the minister in charge of presidential affairs and President Weah's secretary general
Sayma Syrenius Cephus - Liberia's attorney general
Bill Twehway who heads the National Port Authority.
Today on #TheConversaton, we looked analytically at this development.
